Disney Interactive

$64.99, rated E10+ (PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U): “Star Wars” arrives in Disney's virtual theme park in grand fashion, with a “Clone Wars” play set and a pile of aliens and starships for the game's anything-goes Toy Box mode. A revamped hub area helps organize your adventures, and the new farming and sidekick options bring a lot of new value to the Toy Box. Additional modes are available through $19.99 expansions.

SEL — social-emotional learning — is second only to STEM in the hot educational acronym category. Believe it or not, MiPosaur Interactive Dinosaur from WowWee touches on both types of terrain. Depending on its commandant’s hand gestures, MiPosaur exhibits three personalities and associated movements from a baseline of Curious Mood, toward Excited or Annoyed moods. An included trackball houses games and activities to play with MiPosaur. In ball mode, MiPosaur plays modified fetch. In leash mode, the ball guides MiPosaur in the direction that the child dictates. In dance mode, MiPosaur moves like Jagger — and kids get the satisfaction of dictating to a degree the family pet doesn’t oblige. Requires 4 AA and 4 AAA batteries (not included). $149.99, www.kohls.co
